It's no April Fool's Day joke: we have a giveaway that could be considered legendary (RIP Barney Stinson, HIMYM).

Today, a new comic strip documentary was released on iTunes - Stripped. The film focuses on the history and future of the comics industry and talks with many of the top cartoonists in the world. From the GoComics family, the credits reads like a "who's who" of comics. This includes:

Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes) - his first recorded interview in at least two decades.

Take a look at the trailer:

The film was so highly regarded that the notoriously private Bill Watterson came out of retirement to draw the movie poster - his first public cartoon since retiring from Calvin and Hobbes.

To celebrate this day with you and our cartoonists, we've partnered with the film's directors on a giveaway. You will have a chance to win our grand prize (the Stripped movie poster with artwork drawn by Watterson) or one of three second-place prizes (a DVD copy of the film).

Enter the contest by commenting below and answering the following two-part question: What is your favorite newspaper comic strip AND what is your favorite webcomic?

The contest will end at noon CT on Wednesday, April 9. This contest is open worldwide to all comics fans. If you have won a GoComics prize in the past week, you are not eligible. By entering, you are open to your entry being used by Universal Uclick/GoComics and the Stripped filmmakers in promoting the film and its outreach.

I love Calvin and Hobbs, but our local newspaper no longer carries it. I have to be satisfied by Zits and Grand Avenue. But we gave our oldest son all the Calvin and Hobbs books as they came out. Online xkcd is about as good as it gets for thinking folks.

My Favorite comics of all time were "Bloom County" "Calvin & Hobbes" and "The Far Side." Unfortunately, those have all left us a little sadder and poorer for their absence. My favorite current comics are "Dilbert" and "Kate the Great" (http://www.katethegreatcomics.com/).

My all time favorite newspaper comic strip is definately Calvin and Hobbes! I was too young for the newspaper version, but every Birthday, Christmas and Eastern, a Calvin and Hobbes book was my most wanted present for years! :) As webcomic I would say nichtlustig.de is my favorite. But I rarely read webcomics.

Newspaper comics: All-time: Calvin & Hobbes; Current/On-going: 9 Chickweed Lane. (With a tip of the Hatlo hat to before-my-time classics like Thimble Theater and the remembered-but-gone On Stage.)
Web comics: Lost Side of Suburbia's mixture of story and art but, in its hiatus/absence, the color and experimentation of Pibgorn and the ever-deepening ongoing story of Endtown.

I would have to say my favorite comics would be Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County/Outland/Opus. I have recently discovered Drive and Sheldon as far as web comics go and the have become fast favorites.

MUTTS is my favorite newspaper comic strip because it is well-drawn and written, yes, but mostly because it advocates for the very animals it profits from drawing. TEN CATS is my favorite web comic because it features a little girl who feeds stray cats. I will also mention my own struggling web comic ELF AND MOTORBELLY because I try to champion the plight of homeless cats in the strip and in my own life.

I have to say that my favorite newspaper comic strip changes year to year, but overall Calvin and Hobbes has been in my top 5. Zits is also a major favorite of mine. Lately, as I've gotten older, Pearls Before Swine has gained a foothold in that top 5 list. For Web Comic, far above and beyond all others is GPF by Jeff Darlington. (http://www.gpf-comics.com).

My favourite all time newspaper strip is actually a tie between 'Calvin and Hobbes' and Gary larsons 'The Farside'.. Favourite webcomic is the one and only 'Sheldon' I have now been reading for over 10 years!

My favorite newspaper comic has always been Calvin and Hobbes. It was the first comic to ever make me laugh. Oddly enough, that particular strip featured neither Calvin nor Hobbes. It was when his parents were looking for Hobbes in the woods, and the mom called out for Hobbes. It was great to see her in Calvin's world, if only for a minute. My favorite webcomic is Bug Martini. I love how absurd it is, even while maintaining an internal logic that allows it to reach strange, wonderful conclusions.

Like almost everyone else here, I think Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite newspaper strip (although Peanuts and Foxtrot are probably close!). My favorite webcomic is probably Order of the Stick: the writing is very deep, despite the stick figure look!

My favorite newspaper comic strip has always been Calvin and Hobbes. It was the first comic to ever make me laugh, although oddly enough, neither Calvin nor Hobbes were in that strip. It was when the parents were searching for Hobbes, and the mom calls Hobbes' name. It was great to see her get pulled into Calvin's world, if only for a minute. My favorite webcomic is Bug Martini. It's very absurd, but logically consistent in a way that lets it build on itself to a great conclusion.

My favorite newspaper comic is a no-brainer. Calvin and Hobbes have been my favorite ever since I was a little kid, and my mom gave me her old copy of "Something Under The Bed Is Drooling." As far as webcomics go, "Table Titans" has been my current favorite. However, I also enjoy keeping up with Dr. McNinja, Brawl in the Family, and of course "Sheldon."

It's been so long since I read newspaper comics, I can't say I could pick a favorite. Maybe Baby Blues just for relevance to my life. Right now my favorite web comic is definitely JL8, though XKCD is a close second.

For newspaper strips, nobody has ever unseated Calvin & Hobbes from the top of my list.

There are a lot of webcomics that I regard highly, but if I had to choose one as a "favorite" right this second I think I'd have to go with Cucumber Quest by Gigi DG. Accessible, family-friendly and beautiful art.

>>What is your favorite newspaper comic strip AND what is your favorite webcomic?

My favorite newspaper comic strip was The Far Side. I love so many, Calvin and Hobbes, Pearls Before Swine, Bloom County, Mutts -- but the one that really made me laugh most regularly was The Far Side.

Favorite webcomic is Surviving the World - it's photos, but it's clever. I used to be a big fan of FoxTrot, but a lot of the jokes were recycled year after year, there's a reason it went to Sundays only.

My favourite newspaper strip is a duke-em-out between Calvin and Hobbes (of COURSE!) and The Far Side. I've been reading each since I was 8 or 9 (Though I imagine many things flew over my head).
I had a period where I was jumping between many webcomics, but the one that's retained my love the longest would be Lackadaisy. (This being said, Romantically Apocalyptic joyfully broke my eyes a few years ago and presently Boulet's strips are making me happy)

Oh goodness - to choose a favorite newspaper comic... Frazz was one of my tops. But I followed so many. Mutts, Luann, Baldo, For Better or For Worse, Get Fuzzy, FoxTrot, Overboard, Rose is Rose.... it goes on.

Similarly my favorite webcomic is super hard to say. I follow a TON. I love each for their unique story and art. Drive, Girls with Slingshots, Sinfest, Heart Shaped Skull, Johnny Wander, Multiplex.

If I had to pick one of either list to read and only read I'd hit the person forcing me to just one and run away. :D
